» Brian Tubbs - Labels

I understand the problem with labels. But is it a coincidence that the most hardline anti-war voices - the ones saying that the US is corrupt, unjust, etc. - are all sitting in the left hand political bleachers?

Some labels DO fit, PT. If I ask a person the following questions, I can pretty much tell where they are coming from?

*Do you believe in God as the Creator and Supreme Being of the universe?

*Do you believe in absolute truth and absolute Right and Wrong?

*What do you think of the Founding Fathers?

*Should our nation and society remain loyal to the basic, foundational principles of our heritage?

*Do you consider yourself a patriot? If so, why and how?

*Do you believe the United States is (overall) a force for good in the modern world?

Based on the above questions, I can tell whether a person is conservative or liberal - and usually to what degree they are on that scale.

I would submit to you that those whose answers reveal them to be Left or Far Left are also - almost universally - strongly opposed to George W. Bush and the war in Iraq.
